Description
Oude Rijn 93/corner Herengracht 136 Leiden
When you enter Leiden, passing the beautiful Zijlpoort, you will come across the city's second landmark: the 'Miss Blanche' canal house. This spacious 17th-century national monument is located at the intersection of waterways and has a magnificent panoramic view of the harbor and the Oude Herengracht. The building was built in 1651 at the time of the first urban expansion on the spot where the old city wall once was. A sturdy 'workhouse' with robust original (nut-child) beamed ceilings, spiral staircase (partly original), not to mention the unique, restored Miss Blanche facade advertisement that is admired daily by walking and sailing public.
This characteristic, spacious and well-maintained house with 4 floors includes a high hall, spacious kitchen in the basement, an upstairs room, U-shaped living-study room with a magnificent view, 3 (bed) rooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets and a spacious attic.
An ideal home, ready move in, for enthusiasts who would like to live on a through waterway in one of the most beautiful places in the heart of Leiden, outside the nightlife but close to everything that makes living in the city center so attractive, including shops (Albert Heijn around the corner), restaurants and within walking/cycling distance of public transport and Leiden station. The A4 and A44 to Amsterdam and The Hague are easy to reach. Almost all city and regional buses pass through the center of Leiden. Every few minutes there is a bus to Leiden Central Station, from where you can travel to The Hague and Schiphol within fifteen minutes and to Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht in less than half an hour.
The historic city center of Leiden is the second largest in the Netherlands and is known for its rich history with old canals, city gates, no less than 88 bridges, windmills, small alleys, courtyards, a castle, the green Singelpark, museums and much more . Here you will find all kinds of urban facilities in a compact area together. And did you know that Leiden has the most water flowing through its canals after Amsterdam; a total of 28 kilometers of canals. And did you know that Leiden is ranked number three of the most attractive cities to live in this year (Source: annual survey 'Atlas for municipalities' by research agency Atlas Research May 2023).
